A golden sound sounded in the Qing army, and the attacking Qing troops breathed a sigh of relief, leaving behind a large number of corpses and instruments and retreating.

In the Wei army camp, the soldiers saw the Qing army retreating, and immediately let out a cheer.

Gao Yihuan smashed his fist on the wooden stake, "Okay, let the medical officer rescue the wounded and step up the repair of the camp." ”

This time, the Qing army took the initiative to retreat, mainly because of the earth-shattering thunder, Duoduo did not expect that Gao Yihuan, a rogue, would have so many firearms.

If it weren't for the earth-shattering thunder, the Qing army's stone throwers would have been able to knock down the wall, the shield carts would have rushed to the edge of the barracks, and then they would have been able to get close to each other, and the Wei army would have fallen into a bitter battle.

After the Qing army retreated, the Wei soldiers in the camp began to carry away the corpses of their comrades, help the wounded away, and collect the arrows that had been fired into the camp, clean up the corpses of the Qing soldiers outside the trenches, re-sprinkle the iron thistles, and build a horse breeding wall, ready to deal with the Qing army's attack again.

However, when the Wei army cleaned up the battlefield and re-prepared, the Qing army did not attack again.

After this battle, Duoduo realized that Gao Yihuan was indeed a hard stubble, and he no longer had enough confidence to eat Gao Yihuan.

In terms of troops, Duoduo brought 30,000 people, and Gao Yihuan had nearly 40,000 people.

Although the combat power of the Qing army is stronger than that of Gao Yihuan, Gao Yihuan has more men and horses, and occupies a favorable terrain, and the Qing army's strong attack will inevitably cause huge losses, and it will not be cheap.

After realizing that Gao Yihuan wanted to consume him and deliberately led him to attack, Duoduo stopped attacking, and this stop was nearly half a month.

For a time, the Qing army and the Wei army fell into a situation of fighting and not fighting, retreating and not retreating, waiting for the other party to show their flaws.

For Duoduo, only by eliminating Gao Yihuan can he go all out to attack Luoyang City, otherwise this-stirring stick will definitely make trouble for him.

Although Duoduo didn't want to fight in his heart, if he didn't solve Gao Yihuan, he wouldn't be able to fight Luoyang with peace of mind, so he still didn't retreat.

For Gao Yihuan, his purpose was to delay the Qing army to capture Luoyang and stand on the platform for Li Zicheng.

If the Qing army takes Luoyang, then the entire Luoyang basin will be owned by the Qing army, and the Qing army's strength will be liberated.

Now as long as Luoyang is not down, there is still a Gao Yihuan on the periphery of Luoyang, and he may come out at any time to fight a central flowering battle.

In this way, the energy of the Qing army was contained in Henan, which could buy Li Zicheng a little time to prepare.

Although Gao Yihuan didn't want to continue to entangle with the Qing army, he couldn't retreat until Duoduo was allowed to fight Luoyang with all his might, otherwise Luoyang would definitely fall in the near future.

Gao Yihuan still understands the truth of cold lips and teeth.

Although he did not have the strength to drag the Qing army in Henan all the time, he still had to delay it for a while at this time, so that Guanzhong could make sufficient preparations, and then he would retreat to southern Henan.

For a time, the Qing army and the Wei army were in Ruzhou, and a situation of confrontation was formed.

The Qing army fought the Wei army, Duoduo could not afford to consume, and Gao Yihuan took the initiative to attack but could not defeat the Qing army, and the situation of confrontation gradually formed.

In the midst of the war, the situation is ever-changing, and there is no progress on the front, so it is natural to think of a roundabout breakthrough.

After the confrontation situation was formed, the Qing army and the Wei army were unable to make a breakthrough in the front, unable to make the other party submit, and the two sides paid attention to cutting off each other's grain routes.

In the process of fighting with the Ming army, the real Manchuria is best at this hand, and Hong Chengchou has more than 100,000 Ming troops, which are planted on this trick.

Duoduo, a yin person, thought about copying Gao Yihuan's grain, who knew that Gao Yihuan was also a "yin", the two coincided, and actually thought of a piece.

At the beginning of March, the two groups went out of the camp at the same time, and they met halfway, both sides were stunned, and then there was an angry battle, Duoduo killed more than 400 feudal soldiers, and Gao Yihuan also lost 6 or 700 people.

After this battle, both armies strengthened the defense of the grain road, and Duoduo was really a little afraid of Gao Yihuan, feeling that this guy was cunning, very cunning, and too close to have no sense of security.

Seeing that his grain route was too long, and the terrain of Ruzhou was not suitable for cavalry combat, Duoduo retreated his army to Ruzhou City, and the two families continued to fight against each other fifty or sixty miles apart.

In this way, the war turned into a protracted war of attrition.

Gao Yihuan only has the land of three prefectures, and compared to consumption, he may not be able to consume more than the Qing army that occupies Guanwai, Shanxi, Beizhi, and northern Yuzhou, and also controls Eastern Mongolia and Korea.

Both sides, in terms of population and geography, are not of the same order of magnitude.

On this day, in the big tent of the Wei army, Gao Yihuan was listening to his newly established Xuanyi guard report to him.

Gao Yihuan's intelligence collection work has always been done by Gao Yicheng, but after all, he is a half-way monk, has no experience at all, and relies on his own exploration, so the efficiency of intelligence collection has always been a little unsatisfactory and has not played a decisive role.

After Beijing was captured by the Qing army, and Nanjing's civil and military forces rejected Jinyiwei, the emperor's minions, so a large number of Jinyiwei spies could not be appointed, so Gao Yihuan took the opportunity to gather a group of spies to enrich his command.

With this group of people joining, Gao Yihuan directly copied Jinyiwei, set up Xuanyiwei, and began to have a serious intelligence agency.

"Dashuai, according to the lowly investigation, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has set up officials in Zhengzhou, Zhongmu, Shiyan and other places, and there are signs of resumption of cultivation in all parts of northern Henan!" Fang Jiayu lowered his head and hugged his fists.

Gao Yihuan frowned slightly after hearing this, if the Qing court set up officials in the occupied areas and restored order in northern Henan, it would not be long before the Qing army would be able to gain a firm foothold in northern Henan.

Li Zicheng's poor performance in Beijing did the Qing army a great favor, and coupled with the wrong actions of the Nanjing court, most of the gentry and landlords in the north defected to the Qing court.

In this way, with the Qing army's force to clear the place, there are gentry and landlords to help the Qing army endorse, plus these areas occupied by the Qing army, the mission of resisting the fierce and thieves is missing, the Qing army no longer wantonly kills the gentry who submit to their feet, and let them pay grain and taxes, so that the Qing army gradually gained a firm foothold.

This situation is not necessarily a bad thing for those people who are willing to surrender, to be able to survive, and not to worry about the Tartars entering the customs and looting, I can honestly pay grain to the Qing army to save my life, but for Gao Yihuan, this is definitely not a good thing, he must think of destroying the Qing army's cultivation in the prefectures and counties, especially in northern Henan.

This great war, not only militarily, but also in all aspects will become a means of struggle.

It's just that at this time, Gao Yihuan has no means to interfere with the states and counties controlled by the Qing army for the time being.

Gao Yihuan was silent for a while, and then asked: "Duoduo will not carry more than 30,000 stone of grain when he invades Henan this time, and the rest will be obtained from plundering the county towns around Luoyang after crossing the river from Mengjin. Now that the Qing army has set up officials in northern Henan, it has the intention of passing through Henan, and those counties where the Qing army has set up officials, Duoduo will not rob them again. The Eight Banners encircled a large number of flag fields in Beizhili, but now that it is not time to harvest, they cannot provide food for Duoduo. Do you know how the main source of the current grain and grass of Duoduo comes from? How long will he last? ”

"Dashuai, according to the lowly investigation, the grain and grass of the Qing army mainly came from two directions, one is that now Nanjing is in Pingshun, and he intends to curry favor with the Manchus, and the Manchus will entrust the Jin merchants to buy it from the south at a high price, and the other direction is to transport some from North Korea." Fang Jiayu bowed down to report.
